I forgot to add - I use a Nexus 7 to do all of our installs. I have a DeWalt flashlight with a UBNT wifi router built in. I use it to power the radio and do the alignment and configuration, then once inside I plug the flashlight into the wallplate that was just cut in. Now I have Wifi access throughout the customer's home. I can just go and find them wherever they are and hand them the Nexus 7 with a small stylus and they sign right on the screen. This is the best method I have ever used in almost 15 years of doing installs.
